Overview
THE BRITISH BAND THAT TOOK UKRAINIAN MUSIC & CULTURE TO UKRAINE
Originally from Leeds, UK, Cossack folk-punk pioneers The Ukrainians have brought Ukrainian music and culture to the attention of the West and taken it to people of Ukrainian heritage across the globe. And their music has gone into orbit, with NASA astronaut Heide Stefanyshyn-Piper playing their songs on the International Space Station. Written and compiled by the band’s Peter Solowka and Len Liggins, The Ukrainians: Taking Kyiv to the Kosmos celebrates their 35-year career. This large format hardback, with over 200 full colour images from the band’s archive, is packed with stories from current and former band members along with fans, friends and musical collaborators, including David Gedge (The Wedding Present), Jan Wobble (Invaders of the Heart, PiL), Andrew ‘Whitey’ White (Kaiser Chiefs), TV Smith (The Adverts), Harri Kakoulli (Squeeze) and Shaun Charman (Jetstream Pony, The Wedding Present).
